Faces of Raval

A friend of mine who lives in San Francisco recently told me that he feels extremely lucky to live in a city where the world comes to him. Today, the same rings true in Barcelona, Spain’s most cosmopolitan city, which, although relatively small, is home to many different cultures.

Not only does the city attract millions of international tourists each year, it is also the adopted home of more than 250,000 immigrants from across the world—from Chile to Iran, and Senegal to Pakistan.
